US EditionMiami Dolphins to Hire Green Bay Packers Exec Jon-Eric Sullivan as General Manager
Jon-Eric Sullivan, after 22 years with the Packers, will lead Miami's front office overhaul following consecutive losing seasons and the firing of GM Chris Grier.
- ESPN reported Friday that Jon-Eric Sullivan is finalizing a deal to become the Miami Dolphins' general manager, with multiple reports confirming the move on Jan. 9, 2026.
- The Dolphins' front-office shakeup followed the firing of Mike McDaniel Thursday, as they prioritized hiring a new GM before completing their head-coach search, according to sources.
- A Packers lifer, Jon-Eric Sullivan spent 22 seasons rising through Green Bay Packers' ranks to vice president of player personnel and became Brian Gutekunst's `right-hand man`; he is also the son of longtime coach Jerry Sullivan.
- Sullivan must also confront Tua Tagovailoa's future, balancing trade, release or designation options with massive cap costs including $56.4 million and potential dead caps of $99.2 million or $67.4 million.
- Sullivan's hire continues a Packers-to-GM pipeline as he inherits building blocks like De'Von Achane and Jaylen Waddle but may face an early rebuild.
